Winter is here, and now is the time to learn a new programming language and catch up on your data analysis skills!

The Center for Integrated Research Computing (CIRC) will be hosting workshop training sessions for a 5 week period starting on February 4th. Known as the “CIRC Winter Bootcamp,” these workshops will be broken down into 9 topics. Each week will feature 1-2 topics, and each topic will span 3 days of instruction.

Topics will include basic training in Linux, programming languages, and data analytics tools. The courses are designed for beginners and extra emphasis will be placed on using these languages, libraries, applications, etc. specifically on BlueHive. The classes will take place on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings and afternoons in the VISTA Collaboratory. Please see the table below for the topics, dates, and times.

Each language or topic is an individual “module,” that will take place during 1.5 hour lectures over 3 days. Each module is independent, and participants may sign up for one or more modules (i.e. languages or tools to learn).

The workshops will require attendees to bring their own laptop computer and have a computing account on BlueHive. CIRC will also be hosting an optional Connectivity Clinic, where workshop registrants are able to gain assistance in connecting their laptops to BlueHive using the FastX graphical interface.

All modules will be held on campus in the VISTA Collaboratory, located on the first floor of Carlson Library. Directions to the location of VISTA are located here.
